Keno was introduced in 200 BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a fast response for the financial disaster and to create revenue for his military. He thusly invented the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who came to the United States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is generally enjoyed with 80 numbers in almost all of American land based casinos along with online casinos. Keno is commonly played today because of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is constantly the chance that you might hit quite large with very little gambling investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each round. Players of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in acceptance in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
